Difficulty analysis: Crocodile Hill is a short but very demanding climb, with 1.8 km at an average gradient of 9% for 159 m of elevation gain, which justifies its Category 1 rating. The main danger is right at the start: KM 0.0-0.2 hits 20%, a very steep section that puts your legs in the red fast. The rest alternates between rolling stretches and a second 15% ramp in KM 0.4-0.6, before a more irregular second half marked by false flats and a KM 1.6-1.8 section at 7%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace the start. Tackle the 20% at KM 0.0-0.2 in an easy gear with a smooth cadence, without trying to go out hard.
2. Recover on the descent. Use the -8% stretch at KM 0.2-0.4 to catch your breath while keeping the pedals turning, and get ready to push back on the 15% ramp at KM 0.4-0.6.
3. Manage the finish. Stay seated and smooth on the 15% sections, then save your last bit of energy for KM 1.6-1.8 at 7% if your legs allow it.
